George E. FoleyTales of Tomorrow #16: Frankenstein (1952)

A live tv production of Frankenstein from the anthology series Tales of Tomorrow. Legend has it that Lon Chaney Jr. (playing the monster) was unaware that it wasn't a rehearsal, so rather than break up props as planned, he simply put them down. While he certainly does some odd things with the chairs and appears to ask a question to somebody off stage (at 12:04), he does break up some props, and certainly isn't the only one flubbing (or was 'elictricigate' a word in the day of Mary Shelley?)

More info at the imdb.

Hopefully in the public domain.

Subject: See the great Lon Chaney Jr. as the Frankenstein's Monster
The only reason I give this 4 stars is that the ending is missing otherwise...it was fantastic! Fans of the old spook shows of the 50's will really get a charge out of this one!

Subject: A catalog site for Classic TV shows
If you like Classic TV from of the 50's, I found a catalog site that makes it easy to find and watch episodes streaming from Archive.org at:

The Classic TV Channel

There are currently over 400 individual episodes of about 30 different programs, and the site is growing day by day. Check it out!

Subject: Incomplete but Good
Though slightly incomplete (note the abrupt edits and lack of closing credits), this was quite enjoyable to watch. I don't know who the uploader is, but I'd like to thank them for this upload. It has a real spooky, old-timey feel to it. In this case the low budget doesn't hurt the programme at all.

Overall, I'd rate it 4/5.
